Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. I am currently spending Thanksgiving with my family, but will try to write up a recap of this past Tuesday's ANC meeting soon.

Comments Wanted: Where Should the Monthly Constitutent Meetings be Held?

The first prong of my platform is that I will hold monthly meetings with the residents of 5c-02.

So I'd like to hear from you about where those meetings should take place. And should it be at the same location every month, or should it change? For that matter, ANC 5C is also trying to answer these questions with respect to its official meetings.

Some ideas . . .

1) A room in the Harry Thomas Recreation Center

2) A room in one of our local churches. MPD meetings are often held at St. Martin's Church, for example.

3) Catania Bakery (the bakery will have to purchase chairs, but I think those folks would be willing to invest for the community) or some other similar establishment

4) A different resident each month could open his/her home to the neighbors.

5) A room in McKinley Tech High School

6) A room in Dunbar High School

7) The Artist Studio on O Street

8) In one of our parks (for example, the one at New York Avenue and First Street N.W.), if it is on a warm spring/summer day.

The advantage of changing venues is that some folks will be more likely to attend a meeting the closer it is located. The disadvantage is that everyone will have to be informed every month of the location and some amount of effort will be needed to discern the new location.

Please give the pro/cons, your ideas, and any suggests. If you would care to host a meeting in your home, please e-mail me at KrisForANC@yahoo.com.
